Romance, Holiday Romance

It's the most wonderful time of the year......to take down a billionaire.Brooklyn Peters has finally landed a spot at her dream company which will allow her to use her boring marketing skills to live her dream of saving the planet. When she catches the attention of the CEO, who happens to be her idol, she gets a close up peek at what is going on behind closed doors. Not only is the corporate wunderkind a creep, but he’s also actively working against everything Brooklyn believes in.

Good thing she recently made the acquaintance of Max Matuschansky, a journalist who specializes in corporate reporting. The Christmas season provides a convenient excuse for Max to snoop around…as long as he’s comfortable being Brooklyn’s date to corporate “holiday” events. Which, as a proud Jewish man, he isn’t. But something about this story and Brooklyn makes him reconsider.

Between Brooklyn’s crash course in teaching Max about Christmas traditions and late night writing sessions, the attraction between the two gets harder to ignore and maintaining their journalistic ethics is key to keeping them off the naughty list. There’s more at stake than just their hearts, because this season, it’s time to actually make the world a better place.

This collection of books featuring Jewish main characters is decidedly non-comprehensive. As we come across books that are described as having Jewish main characters, we add them to this database. The creators of the Jewish Genre Reading Challenge have not read all (or even most) of the books in this database. We have gathered information from many sources and not all may be accurate. Inclusion of a book in our database does not imply endorsement or approval. There is always the possibility that antisemitism may be present in a book, either written into a character's experience or through malicious or ignorant caricature or stereotypical portrayal of Jewish characters and culture. Please take care of yourselves as you read.

PLEASE let us know if you encounter a book in this database that does not have a Jewish main character, if you have corrections or additions for a book's genre categories, or if you have any other concerns about the inclusion of a particular book in this database.
